<b>Description: DbMpoolFile::set_clear_len</b>
<p>The DbMpoolFile::set_clear_len method sets the number of initial bytes in a
page that should be set to nul when the page is created as a result of
the <a href="../api_cxx/memp_fget.html#DB_MPOOL_CREATE">DB_MPOOL_CREATE</a> or <a href="../api_cxx/memp_fget.html#DB_MPOOL_NEW">DB_MPOOL_NEW</a> flags being
specified to <a href="../api_cxx/memp_fget.html">DbMpoolFile::get</a>.  If no clear length is specified, the
entire page is cleared when it is created.</p>
<p>The DbMpoolFile::set_clear_len method configures a file in the memory pool, not only
operations performed using the specified <a href="../api_cxx/mempfile_class.html">DbMpoolFile</a> handle.</p>
<p>The DbMpoolFile::set_clear_len method may not be called after the <a href="../api_cxx/memp_fopen.html">DbMpoolFile::open</a> method is
called.
If the file is already open in the memory pool when
<a href="../api_cxx/memp_fopen.html">DbMpoolFile::open</a> is called, the information specified to DbMpoolFile::set_clear_len
must be consistent with the existing file or an error will be
returned.
</p>
<p>The DbMpoolFile::set_clear_len method
either returns a non-zero error value
or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure, and returns 0 on success.
</p>
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
 <b>len</b><ul compact><li>The <b>len</b> parameter is the number of initial bytes in a page that
should be set to nul when the page is created.  A value of 0 results in
the entire page being set to nul bytes.</ul>
<br>
<hr size=1 noshade>
<b>Description: DbMpoolFile::get_clear_len</b>
<p>The DbMpoolFile::get_clear_len method returns the bytes to be cleared.</p>
<p>The DbMpoolFile::get_clear_len method may be called at any time during the life of the
application.</p>
<p>The DbMpoolFile::get_clear_len method
either returns a non-zero error value
or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure, and returns 0 on success.
</p>
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
 <b>lenp</b><ul compact><li>The DbMpoolFile::get_clear_len method returns  the
bytes to be cleared in <b>lenp</b>.</ul>
